Abstract: A method of continuous production of refined chocolate mass from a non-refined cocoa mass composed of a mixture of components reduced in size to a fineness required for the final mass but still containing undesired aromatic substances and moisture and being processed into a low fat, friable or pulverized chocolate mass, is mixed in a plasticator with a preheated air stream which is admitted in the same feeding direction, simultaneously externally heated for a time interval between 5 and 8 minutes while being intensively mixed by shearing stresses until the mass becomes plasticized; thereupon the fluidity of the mass is increased by an emulsifier, then the entrained gas is separated from the mass, the latter is weighed and supplemented according to a final recipe by additional fat content, and the final mass is collected in a container and subjected to an additional homogenizing treatment and in a cooled condition is forwarded for the final processing.
